“Capture the Season” Finalists Announced

Thursday, July 14th, 2011 - Adelaide Hills Wine Region

The Adelaide Hills Wine Region has shortlisted seven images from their “Capture the Season” photography competition to be showcased at participating cellar doors for public voting during their Winter Reds Festival weekend on July 23rd and 24th.

David Evans, AIPP South Australian Photographer of the Year 2006 and 2009, and Capture the Season judge commented on the quality of the shortlisted images.

“The finalist images are filled with great stories and capture winter in the Adelaide Hills. Entrants demonstrated strong technical skills and reflected the diverse beauty to be found throughout the region.” David explains.

“It was a difficult task to shortlist the images with so many impressive entries but we feel the seven finalists are great reflections of the region in the winter months.”

Finalist images will be judged over the Winter Reds Festival weekend to win one of three awards including the “Capture the Season Award” with the winner set to receive a $1000 voucher from Atkins Technicolour and the rights to their image purchased by the Adelaide Hills Wine Region.

Festival-goers will get a chance to vote on their favourite as the “People’s Choice Award” is determined by public votes in cellar doors over the Winter Reds Festival weekend, whilst the “Media Award” will enable some of the State’s most influential media to cast their vote on the shortlisted entries.
